The Department of Classical Studies is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. Our faculty offer a wide array of courses in languages and literature, archaeology, history, mythology, and religion. Courses in Classical Civilization require no knowledge of Latin and Greek and range from introductory lecture courses to smaller seminars that consider critical approaches and scholarship central to the study of the ancient world.

The Department offers two major programs, CLASSICS and CLASSICAL CIVILIZATION, both of which involve the study of all facets of the ancient world. Students in both majors need to learn at least one of the classical languages, but the Classics major puts more emphasis on reading texts in the original.
